Railway Recovery and Reform Programme

Bangladesh Railway has undergone several recovery and reform programmes since its independence in 1971, all aiming towards improving the performance of institutional capacity and commercial orientation of BR. Some of the important time lines when major changes occurred are listed below :-

 After creation of Bangladesh as an independent nation in 1971, it inherited a Railway Board which was responsible for the functioning of the Railway network on behalf of the Government.

 In 1973 this structure was abolished and its functions were merged with the Ministry of Communications (MOC) and the executive functioning of the network was placed under a General Manager.

 In 1976, on the advice of the Asian Development Bank, the Government (GOB) agreed to re-establish the Railway Board to conduct the management functions with MOC exercising policy control.

 The Railway Board was again abolished with effect from June 2, 1982 and a Railway Division was created under the MOC with the Railway Division being vested with the functions being discharged bythe erstwhile Railway Board. Secretary, Railway Division under the MOC was made to head BR and to discharge the functions of DG/BR. The Railway was bifurcated into East and West Zones, each placed under a General Manager with supporting administrative structure.

 The Railway Recovery Programme(RRP)launched in 1991: The RRP was launched to improve the performance of Bangladesh Railway through (i) Reduction in manpower, (ii) Introduction of Public Service Obligation (PSO) concept. (iii)Withdrawal of concessions in tariff, (iv) Introduction of Welfare Grant and,

(v)Closure of unnecessary functions. As a result, the work force was reduced from 58,000 to 35,000 through voluntary separation and natural attrition. Apart from this, a number of revenue losing branch lines, sheds, depots etc, were closed and some of the non- profitable passenger train services were withdrawn.

 The Organization Reform Programme (phase-I) launched in 1994 had the key recommendations: (i) To separate Railway Organization from Ministry of Communication, (ii) Formation of Bangladesh Railway Authority (BRA), (iii) Allocation of Authority and Power among Bangladesh Government, BRA and BR Management and (iv) Restructuring of BR. The Phase-II & Phase-III of Organizational Reform with the same objective followed subsequently.

* With a view to transform BR into a more market oriented, commercialized and autonomous entity with full public accountability and to improve the operational and financial performance of the network on a sustainable basis, ADB under its Railway Recovery Programme, recommended creation of a Bangladesh Railway Authority (BRA) through a legislative process. However, on grounds of expediting implementation, the GOB created this new structure through a Cabinet Resolution dated August 12,1995 and delineated the authority matrix between GOB, BRA and BR through another Govt.Resolution dated March -9 1996. BRA was constituted for providing policy guidance to BR in railway matters with the Minister of Communications chairing this multi disciplinary body consisting of 8 members drawn from Govt.(MOC, Ministry of Finance and Planning Commission). BR (DG/BR and two functional ADGs) and the private sector (Two number). BRA and BR were placed under the administrative control of the Roads and Railway Division of MOC with the instruction of not exercising the role of a director/controller over the railway management. At the same time, DG/BR was appointed from the organized Railway cadre without ex-officio status as Secretary to GOB. The ex-officio status of the other railway functionaries under DG/BR was also withdrawn. GOB was assigned the role of formulating national transport policy, set safety standards for BR operations, approving and arranging funding of BR’s long –term investments and determining the financial implications of public service obligation (PSO) services. BRA was charged with the responsibility to determine policies relating to railway operation in the context of National Transport Policy, ensure accountability of BR management and determine long term investment plan and strategy of BR. BR, headed by a DG, was assigned responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the Railway. A new Marketing and Corporate Planning Department and a full fledged Personnel Department were also created in the DG’s office to focus on the marketing and Human Resource Development (HRD) functions. DG/BR was made an ex-officio member of BRA along with two ADGs of BR as non-voting members.

Bangladesh Railway Reform programme launched in 2006:Bangladesh Railway has embarked upon a comprehensive reform programme to achieve the guidelines of the National Land Transport Policy designed to integrate all aspects covered under earlier programme with more focus on Restructuring BR into Lines of Business(LOB)structure, improvement of financial management & accounting system, preparation of asset registry for all LOBs, improvement of HR management structures etc. The programme, like the earlier ones, is funded by Asian Development Bank (ADB). An International Consulting firm has been engaged for achieving the above tasks.

Under this reform programme, it is proposed that BR will be restructured in 8 (eight) Lines of Business (LOB) i.e. Passenger, Freight, Infrastructure, Rolling Stock, Finance, Corporate Services, Project and Estate LOBs. There will be a Railway Advisory Board vested with the policy making authority on behalf of the Government. A separate Railway Executive Board under the Chairmanship of Director General, Bangladesh Railway will be formed. Passenger, Freight, Infrastructure, Rolling Stock, Finance & Corporate Services LOB heads will be the member of the Railway Executive Board. The proposed Railway Advisory Board and Railway Executive Board are under process of approval by GOB.

An independent Ministry named ``Ministry of Railway'' established for Bangladesh Railway on 4 December, 2011 for rapid development and service improvement of Railway in a dynamic operational environment. PRIVATE SECTOR ASSOCIATION • BR started private sector association of its commercial and other activities from 1997. As on June, 2015, ' Commercial Activities' of 98 nos. Mail, Express & Local trains and ' On Board ' services of 16 nos. of Intercity trains were licensed out.

East Zone has 1,113.57 route kilometers of MG and 194.70 route kilometers of DG track only, and West Zone has 534.67 route kilometers of MG 659.33 route kilometers of BG and 374.83 route kilometers of DG track. The total length of running track on double line, in the yards and sidings is 4,093.15 kilometers. A comparison on the Railway network at the end of 2014-2015 with those of earlier years is shown in Table No. 3 & 5. Route Length by Civil Districts :

Bangladesh Railway is not connected with all the Civil Districts of the country. At the end of 2014-2015 only 44 Civil Districts of the country could be connected by Railway. The District-wise Railway stations and Route kilometers are shown in Table No. 4 Track Maintenance :

Mechanized track maintenance methods are under active consideration of the Railway Administration to replace conventional methods. Mechanical track lifting, slewing, tamping and laying machines have been introduced on Dhaka-Chittagong main line for track maintenance. A track recording trolley car is in use.

Bridges : At the end of 2014-2015, there were a total of 3,367 bridges, of which 2,629 are minor and 738 are major ones. Foot over-bridges are provided in important cities and district towns.

Level Crossings : At the end of 2014-2015, there were 1,546 level crossings of which 207 level crossings having heavy road and rail traffic are manned round the clock and 1,339 with light traffic are casually manned. Busy level crossings are being gradually provided with quick operating lifting barriers. Safety devices are being provided at very busy level crossings. Stations

Bangladesh Railway had a total of 460 stations at the end of the year 2014-2015. These include one block hut, thirteen train halts and four goods booking points.

SIGNALLING & TELECOMMUNICATION Signalling :

The importance of rail line between Dhaka and Chittagong increased immediately after the partition of India in 1947 as this connects the capital city of Dhaka and the principal port city of Chittagong. To meet the needs for the speed and density of the traffic, signaling on the section were modernized in phases starting from the early sixties. The entire section between Tongi -Chittagong is existing with colour light signalling & relay interlocking with tokenless block working except Akhaura.Double wire upper quadrant mechanical signalling is provided in sections Joydebpur- Mymensingh, Bhairab Bazar-Gouripur Mymensingh, Santahar-Bonarpara & Khulna-Darsana, Relay interlocking system also exists at 10(ten) stations in Mymensingh-Jamalpur and Mymensingh-Gouripur Mymensingh section inEast Zone and at 2( two) junction stations in West Zone. viz.Parbatipur & Ishurdi. Computer based signalling and interlocking system was intruduced at 7 (seven ) stations from Joydebpur to Bongabandhu Bridge west and at another 7(seven) stations from Jamtail to Muladuli Computer based signalling and Interlocking system has also been introduced at 23 stations in Akhauara - Sylhat section and at 6 (six) stations in Dhaka-joydebpur section and 4 stations in West Zone such as Santahar, Abdulpur, Azimnagar & Ishardi by pass. Moreover modernization of signaling and interlock system of 13(thirteen) stations from Bhawl Gagipur to Mymensingh is under construction and that of 11 stations from Paksey to Darsana Junctions and another 11 stations from Chittagong Junction cabin to Chinky Astana is under pipe line.

Most important and busy level crossing gates are also provided with interlocking system including approach warning and road signal.

Non intelocked colour light signal has been introduced in Dhaka - Narayangonj, Jamalpur-Tarakandi,Laksam- Noakhali, Sholashar-Fatehabad, Abdulpur-Chapainababgonj-Rohanpur and Lalmonirhat-Burimari branch line sections instead of Mechanical Semaphore arm signal. TELECOMMUNICATION Till late eighties Bangladesh Railway's most of the Telecommunication facilities used to be taken on lease from Bangladesh Telegraph and Telephone Board (BTTB). These facilities were land line based, prone to interference and unreliable. In 1984, BR went for the modernization of its Telecommunication Facilities. BR has an optical fibre based digital tele-communication network. The tele-communication network spans approximately over 2009 kms. and connects about 300 Railway stations. The system also serves about 1300 users through ten telephone exchanges. In addition to 1300 dial up type digital telephones, BR`s Telecommunication system provides about 260 Train Control Telephones and 503 number of station to station telephone connection. Copper conductors are used for Block Instruments and the Block telephones . Computerized Seat Reservation and Ticketing System (CSRTS) and Computerized Wagon Control System (CWCS) have been installed using this network. ROLLING STOCK Locomotives : Bangladesh Railway now owns basically two types of locomotives viz Diesel Electric (DE) & Diesel Hydraulic (DH). The total fleet as on 30th June 2015 is 282 out of which 274 Diesel Electric (94 BG & 180 MG) and 8 Diesel Hydraulic( 3 BG & 6 M.G.) locomotives. The active holding is 282 out of which to 274 Diesel Electric(94 BG & 180 MG) and 8 Diesel Hydrolic(2 BG & 6 MG) Locomotives (Excluding offf schedule). The type-wise breakdown of the locomotives during the past years is shown in table No.6.

Pahartali and Dhaka Diesel Workshops undertake repairs of MG Diesel Locomotives while Parbatipur Diesel Workshop undertakes repairs of both BG & MG Diesel Locomotives. Heavy repairs and overhauls of diesel locomotives are done at Central Locomotive Workshop, Parbatipur. The existing main line locos are all DE type manufactured by ALCO (USA) , MLW/ Bombardier Inc. (Canada) & Hitachi (Japan) for BG and General Motors (USA/Canada), MLW (Canada), Hitachi (Japan), ABB Henschel (Germany), DLW (India) and Hyundai(S. Korea) for MG. ELECTRICAL To ensure easy and comfortable traveling of passengers, Electrical department is to provide light, fan and air conditioning facilities in the running trains. In the past power supply for the operation of light, fan and air conditioning system of trains were activated by Axle driven Alter motor Dynamo only.

PASSENGER AND FREIGHT TRAFFIC Passenger Traffic : Bangladesh Railway is the principal mode of transportation in the country. With the development of road transport facilities there has been a shift in the trend of passenger traffic with short distance passengers preferring road transport, because of their frequent and point to point services. During 2014-2015, about 67 million passengers were transported by Bangladesh Railway against about 65 million during 2013-2014. In order to render better services to the passengers, Bangladesh Railway introduced Intercity Train services in 1985. At present there are 88 nos of Intercity Trains running. Around 40.9% of the total passengers of Bangladesh Railway are being carried by the Intercity trains which contribute approximately 83.6 % of the total earning of passenger traffic. Details are shown in Table No.24 & 25. Freight Traffic : The railway has been facing tough competition with other modes of transport for the high rated traffic, which pay more revenue. On the other hand, the railway is called upon to carry traditional low rated essentials. As a national carrier, BR has obligation to carry essential commodities like food grains, fertilizer, jute, cement, coal, iron and steel, stone & boulders, petroleum products, salt, sugar etc. to the remote corners of the country at a cheaper rate. The freight traffic during 2014-2015 was 2,555 thousand Metric Tons against 2,524 Thousand Metric Tons during 2013-2014. OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS The Railway system comprises three gauges, Broad , Meter and Dual which involves transshipments of traffic at the break of gauge points. Bangladesh Railway is bisected by the river Jamuna which resulted in much setback in efficient operation of train services which may be enumerated as under :- (1). Break of gauge. (2). Riverine points ( 3) Transhipment problem (4) Directional flow of traffic (5) Frequent change of ghat due to soil erosion. (6) Old tottering rail line (7) Shortage of Rolling stock i.e Locomotives, Coaches and wagons (8) Frequent suspension of ferry crossing during both dry and rainy seasons. (9) Shortage of essential staff i.e Station master, Guard, Locomotive Master) (10) Longer block section and absence of third line in Ishwardi- Joydebpur Section and (11) Speed restriction on Banga bandhu Bridge. The railway link over the Bangabandhu Bridge connecting the East and West zones through the construction of 99 km new dual gauge line and rehabilitation and conversion of 245 km Broad Gauge line from Jamtoil to Parbatipur to Dual Gauge has eased out these operational problems considerably. Improvement will be achieved after completion of the following on going/ proposed work, viz.(a) railway link between western side of Jamuna Bridge to Bogra.(b) Track doubling between Tongi-Bhairab Bazar and Laksham-Chinkiastana of Dhaka-Chittagong corridor. Further improvement will be achieved after implementation of 6th five year plan which commenced from 2011. OFFICERS & STAFF WELFARE Numbers :

As on date 30th June, 2015, there are 463 officers & 27,157 staff of different categories. The staff are graded/classified as Class-III and Class-IV staff. The ratio of officers and staff is about 1.59.
